Water on Mars but not on Earth

iosaf .:. ipsiphi | 23.06.2008 17:50 | Analysis | Culture | World

"It is with great pride and a lot of joy that I announce today that we have found proof that this hard bright material is really water ice and not some other substance," said Peter Smith, the primary investigator for Phoenix, at the University of Arizona in Tucson speaking of the news that the NASA probe on Mars had found water.

Meanwhile every 9 minutes a child, a human child, not space going monkey - dies of thirst. Every 20 seconds a child dies from diseases associated with a lack of clean water.

Since the first international water conference in 1992, the international community has continued to refuse (institutionally) to recognise the access to water as a human right, i.e. as a universal, impartible and untouchable right.

In March this year a proposed resolution by Germany & Spain to include water as a universal right through the framework of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva was blocked by Canada & the USA.

Canada is the country US citizens pretend to be from when they backpack.

The USA is the country that sent the Phoenix prove to Mars.

Canada might have blocked the proposals to include "Water as a Right" because it has lots of H2O. That's the scientific name for the clean bit of fluid water as it is called by earthling first worlders once they take out the oestrogen, cryptosporidium, residual heavy metals & artificial colourings. Third worlders have many words for "water" & don't often worry about the oestrogen, cryptosporidium & heavy metals due to "the cholera thing". Cholera can sometimes worry them more than the lack of artificial colourings in their water which often allow it its naturally occuring brownish or greyish tint......This is quite normal.......Honestly it is.

Every 9 minutes a child dies of thirst.

Thirst is the technical term for the bodily sensation caused by not having H2O. Many Europeans think it has something to do with alcohol or tea. This is quite normal. We call it residual memory. The European still remembers what water looks like with no artificial colourings. Water is brown like Tea or Amber like Beer.

Canadians are easy to spot. They always put a Canadian flag on their luggage so people don't think their representative of the human rights abusing warlike people of the USA. But they speak differently to Americans. You won't distinguish them unless you get a voice sample or get them under surveillance (consult the Canada document for details on how to put people under surveillance  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/06/401743.html ).

The USA has less than 2 years left of deep water aquifiers for their arable land, a technical term used by amateur geologists to describe underground water which is tapped to help grow crops like wheat. You make bread from wheat & water. The USA opposed the resolution too. This will be the second time in a century they attempt to exterminate their farming population. It's easier to blame Canada more for this than the USA though because we already blame the USA for too may things & people are beginning to notice & think we've a chip on our shoulder.

So to be fair to the US, I'll cite their newspaper "The International Herald Tribune" :-

"every 20 seconds a child dies from diseases associated with a lack of clean water"

Since you tried to understand my article, how many children do you think have died from thirst?

Do you know how many children died of thirst since the Phoenix probe went to Mars on the 4 August 2007, at 5:26:34 a.m. EDT (09:26:34 UTC)?

Or perhaps you don't believe the Phoenix probe is on Mars and believe rather that it is together with most other Moon landers and rovers and buggies in some corner of the Arizona desert.

Still - a lot of kids died.
